Abstract: 17,889. Lake, W. E., [Cottrell & Sons Co., C. B.]. March 14. Inking-apparatus. - Multi-colour printing- presses, of the kind provided with means for driving the inking-apparatus independently of the means for driving the plate and impression cylinders, and in which the inking-devices are capable of being moved into and out of operative positions, without disconnecting their driving- means, are constructed with frames for supporting the inking-mechanism which are adjustable to and from the plate cylinders, a sliding connexion being provided between the inking- apparatus and a countershaft operated by belt and bevel gearing from the main driving-shaft. As shown applied to a multi-colour press of the kind described in Specification 17,687/11, two sets of inking-apparatus are mounted in a frame 38, which is adjustable relatively to the main frame 1 by means of a pinion 93 and a fixed rack 92, the pinion 93 being operated by a handwheel and fitted with a locking - pawl. Two other sets are mounted in a similar frame 39. The inking-rollers are driven by bevel-gearing 107, 109, 110 from a shaft 24, which is also geared to the printing and impression cylinders. The gear 110 is on a split shaft 111, the ends of the shaft being capable of longitudinal movement with the frames 38, 39 while still rotating. Bevel-gears 114, 120 on these ends are geared to the main ink-distributing rolls, which are fitted with rollers supplying ink to the printing- cylinders, and are themselves supplied with ink from messenger rolls. These messenger rolls coact with ductor rolls, which are driven by worm gearing from shafts 132, 139 driven by gearing from the split ends of shaft 111.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Embroidering Machines.
Inventor: BROUGHAM FREDERICK JOHN
IPC: D05C13/00
Filed: 1913-03-12
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 6155. Brougham, F. J., [Saurer, A.]. March 12. Embroidery machines. -In an automatic machine, the mechanisms for performing different operations, such as perforating and festooning, are interlocked so that conflicting devices cannot be actuated at one time. In the apparatus shown, a jacquard can operate a mechanism only if a blade corresponding to it is opposite to a gap in a locking- bar 20, and in operating such mechanism it also moves the bar 20 so as to lock from movement the blades of all conflicting mechanisms. The bar 20 is linked to the upper end of a lever 28 pivoted at 29. In the operation of the machine, for example when the jacquard operates the speed-changing gear the corresponding blade 2<a> moves into a gap 24 and a pin 41 on a lever 40, actuated by the speedchanging gear-shaft 9<a>, engages a cam surface 30 on the lever 28 and moves it so that the bar 20 locks the perforator mechanism. The stopgear 10, 17 actuated from the shaft 9<b> moves the lever 28 by means of a block 42 and a pin 41 on the lever and the perforator-gear and festoon-gear, respectively, move the lever 28 by means of an eccentric 43 and bowl 32 and a wedge piece 50 which engages the bowl 33 on its left-hand side. The gear-wheels by which the various mechanisms are put into and out of operation are controlled by levers, such as a lever 4, which is coupled to a constantly reciprocating frame 5 by a hook-plate 2 (which carries the blade 2<a>) when the jacquard needles 1 permit the plate to turn so as to engage the pin 3.
